sig-beer-west FAQ

1. Q: Your announcement says "techies and their friends".  How do I
      know if I'm a techie, or a friend of one?

   A: Well, actually, you don't have to be a techie to attend.  You
      just have to be able to find the sig-beer-west sign at this
      month's event.  That's it!  Simple, huh?

2. Q: I'm not really a beer person.  In fact I'm interested in hanging
      out, but not in drinking.  Would I be welcome?

   A: Absolutely!  The point is to hang out with fun, interesting
      folks.  Please do join us.

3. Q: Is parking difficult in the Bay area, like maybe I should
      factor this into my travel time?

   A: Yes.
______________________________________________________________________

sig-beer-west was started in February 2002 when a couple Washington,
D.C. based systems administrators who moved to the San Francisco Bay
area wanted to continue a dc-sage tradition, sig-beer, which is
described in dc-sage web space as:

  SIG-beer, as in "Special Interest Group - Beer" ala ACM, or as in
  "send the BEER signal to that process".

  The original SIG-beer gathering takes place in Washington DC,
  usually on the first Saturday night of the month.
